in hiding, for the late Wstorian, Moses Coit Tyler. Cooking receipts, doctors' prescriptions—everything has its value, and if not "old enough," time will make it so. The Friends' Historical Society, Friends' Library of Philadelphia, The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, Swarthmore College and Haverford College, with Westtown and other Friendly centres or schools, can all receive and safeguard such material. We are just now most interested that somewhere this shall be preserved. If, as is proposed, the Friends' Historical Society of Philadelphia is to become the Friends' Historical Society of America, this point must be doubly urged. The collection of Quakeriana at Haverford College is the largest and most valuable in the United States. If, as we hope, all these various headquarters, to name only those in Pennsylvania, become the receiving centres for the efforts of residents in their vicinity, or, for any reason, of persons most interested in those particular collections, the great object will have been attained. This magazine should be the medium of information regarding such work, reporting receipts and aiding collectors. With such cooperation, in prospect of a growing membership in the Society which this publication represents, there are great possibilities before us. Therefore, let all Friends or those who are descendants of Friends, and who are interested in Quaker history, see to it that their heirlooms reach a place of security during their lifetime.

More than thirty boxes of these manuscripts have been gone through in this manner, leaving some thirty more, bringing the work down to the year of the unhappy separation of well nigh one hundred years ago. Many important manuscripts, throwing light both on the doctrinal controversy and its unfortunate by-products, have been cataloged and made available for the student of that disturbed period of Friendly history. Then there is the Meeting for Sufferings Library. More than 1030 separate pamphlets and books have already been put into shape. These deal with such subjects as Indians, Negroes, War, Keithian controversy, Revolutionary War, Friends' Sufferings, Hicksite Separation, Beaconite Secession, Wilbur Separation, Ministry, Worship, Discipline, Exhortations, Epistles, Law, Tithes, Education, Doctrinal Matters, Sermons, Memorials, Controversial Subjects, Baptism, Lord's Supper, Jews, etc., a perfect treasure trove for historical research. There remain yet several thousand pamphlets and books to be indexed, the contents of the bound volumes of important publications, patiently collected by departed Friends, such as the elder Joseph Elkinton, Joseph Kite, George Scattergood, and others, and bequeathed to the Meeting for Sufferings. Many of these publications bear the signatures of honored names, their former owners, such as those of Pemberton, Benezet, Dillwyn, Fothergill, Emlen, Evans, and many other ancient worthies of fragrant memory. We are grateful to those Friends who had the concern of providing a modern receptacle for these priceless treasures, in the large Fire-proof Room attached to Friends' Book Store at 302 Arch Street, Philadelphia.

These barbarous measures of punishment were not in accordance with the spirit and feelings of our forefathers, who early aimed at commuting work and confinement for crime ; but the parent country, familiar with its sanguinary code, always revoked the laws formed upon our schemes of reformation. These punishments, therefore, generally prevailed till the time of our self-government, when measures were speedily taken, first by societies of citizens, and afterwards by the Legislature to introduce those reforms into prison discipline which have made our city and state to be celebrated for its early " Penitentiary System." 62

In order to interpret intelligently the content and significance of the criminal codes of colonial Pennsylvania it is necessary to understand the general nature of criminal jurisprudence at the time, and the relation that the Pennsylvania codes bore to the prevailing trends in contemporary criminal law.1 Judged by presentday standards, the criminal laws of colonial times were extremely severe in the penalties they prescribed. A much larger number of capital crimes existed than are listed on the statute books of today. From ten to eighteen crimes, for which the death penalty was prescribed, was usual in the colonial period. The situation in England was, of course, far worse. There, at the close of the eighteenth century, some three hundred capital crimes were specified. Even more striking is the difference in penalties prescribed for crimes not capital. Instead of imprisonment some form of corporal punishment or fines was imposed. Imprisonment, as a method of punishment, was first permanently applied in this country in the period following 1789 in Pennsylvania. In general, it may be said that the criminal codes of colonial Pennsylvania passed through three major transformations. The English or Puritan system was first introduced in 1676. This was superseded by the mild and humane Quaker code of 1682, which was a new and revolutionary departure in criminal jurisprudence. On account of friction over the Quaker demand for

pecially, and in the literature of the Society of Friends. He held at his death the office of vice-president of the Friends' Historical Society (London), and would have been elected president for 1921. He quite hoped to occupy the chair in person at the close of his year in office. He was one of the many links connecting the Yearly Meetings of Baltimore and London. Professor Thomas' wide knowledge of Friends' history and literature was always most gladly placed at the disposal of English students, and he was constantly in correspondence with the Librarians at Devonshire House, answering, sometimes after considerable search and enquiry, the many questions submitted to him. He was also the means of adding materially to the literary possessions of London Yearly Meeting, preserved at Devonshire House. A. C. Thomas' death was referred to at a recent meeting of the Library Committee of the London Meeting for Sufferings, and a minute of record passed in which occur the words,—" His wide and accurate knowledge of Friends' history, and his unfailing willingness to render help, made him one of our most frequent and valuable correspondents." The latest service rendered to British Quakerism by our friend was that of interesting American Friends in the proposed purchase of the original manuscripts of " The Journal of George Fox." In this service he had the valuable help of Rufus M. Jones, the result of their work being the acquisition of these relics by the Devonshire House Reference Library. Norman Penney.
尤其是在友谊会的文学作品中。在他去世时，他担任伦敦历史协会的副主席，并将被选为1921年的主席。他很希望在任期结束时能亲自担任主席。他是连接巴尔的摩年会和伦敦年会的众多纽带之一。托马斯教授在《老友记》的历史和文学方面的广博知识，总是非常乐意提供给英国学生使用。他经常与德文郡书屋的图书管理员通信，回答他们向他提出的许多问题，有时是在经过大量的搜索和询问之后。他还为保存在德文郡府的伦敦年会增添了大量的文学作品。a . C.托马斯的死在伦敦苦难会议图书馆委员会最近的一次会议上被提及，在一分钟的记录中，出现了这样的话:“他对朋友们的历史有着广泛而准确的了解，他始终愿意提供帮助，使他成为我们最频繁和最有价值的通讯员之一。”我们的朋友最近为英国贵格会提供的服务是有趣的美国朋友提议购买“乔治·福克斯杂志”的原始手稿。在这项服务中，他得到了Rufus M. Jones的宝贵帮助，他们的工作结果是德文郡图书馆获得了这些文物。诺曼Penney。
